Abstract

This invention provides a smart toilet, comprising: a toilet body having a wall-mounted surface; a toilet seat pivotally connected to the toilet body, the toilet seat comprising a toilet seat body having a pivot portion on the side of the toilet seat body near the wall-mounted surface, the pivot portion forming a pivot with the toilet body, and the edge of the toilet seat body on the same side as the pivot portion being recessed in a direction away from the wall-mounted surface to form a gap; and a radar monitor installed on the toilet body, the radar monitor being located within the gap, the gap exposing the signal surface of the radar monitor; on the one hand, the strong signal penetration capability of the radar monitor reduces restrictions on the choice of toilet seat material; on the other hand, it eliminates the need for a separate window on the back cover for the radar monitor's signal output, greatly improving the aesthetics of the smart toilet and having a wider range of applications.

Claims

1. A smart toilet, comprising: A toilet body having a wall mounting surface; a toilet seat pivotally connected to the toilet body, the toilet seat including a toilet seat body having a pivot portion on the side of the toilet seat body near the wall mounting surface, the pivot portion forming a pivot connection with the toilet body, the edge of the toilet seat body on the same side as the pivot portion being recessed in a direction away from the wall mounting surface to form a gap; and a radar monitor mounted on the toilet body, the radar monitor being located within the gap, the gap exposing the signal surface of the radar monitor.

2. The smart toilet as described in claim 1, wherein, The angle between the signal plane of the radar monitor and the surface of the toilet body ranges from 52° to 55°.

3. The smart toilet as described in claim 1, wherein, The number of pivot joints is two, and the two pivot joints are distributed on both sides of the gap. The toilet seat body and the pivot joints are integrally formed.

4. The smart toilet as described in claim 1, wherein, The number of the pivot joints is one, and the pivot joint is located on the side of the toilet seat body close to the wall mounting surface. The toilet seat body on both sides of the pivot joint is recessed in the direction away from the wall mounting surface to form the gap.

5. The smart toilet as described in claim 1, wherein, The smart toilet also includes: a base plate fixed to the toilet body, the base plate being connected to a power source, and a radar monitor located on the toilet body between the base plate and the toilet seat body.

6. The smart toilet as described in claim 5, wherein, The smart toilet also includes: a nozzle located on the toilet body, the water outlet of the nozzle extending into the toilet bowl of the toilet body, the base plate and the radar monitor located on the same side of the nozzle, and the base plate controlling the opening and closing of the nozzle.

7. The smart toilet as described in claim 1, wherein, The distance L between the signal transmitting point on the signal surface and the inclined plane of the toilet body surface, the distance d between the signal surface and the toilet seat body in the direction parallel to the toilet body surface, the angle α between the signal surface and the toilet body surface, the maximum thickness h of the toilet seat body in front of the signal surface, and the minimum vertical detection angle β of the radar monitor are satisfied.

8. The smart toilet as described in claim 2, wherein, The smart toilet also includes a protective box fixed to the toilet body, and the radar monitor is installed inside the protective box.

9. The smart toilet as described in claim 8, wherein, The protective box includes an outer shell and a lug plate connected to the side of the outer shell. The lug plate has screw holes and is fixed to the toilet body by bolts. The angle between the surface of the lug plate and the side of the outer shell is complementary to the angle between the signal surface and the surface of the toilet body.

10. The smart toilet as described in claim 1, wherein, The radar monitor includes an antenna board, a control board, and a microwave radar. The microwave radar is fixed on the control board, which has a communication pin interface.
